On Sunday July 12th was the Union Vale Road Race. Kristen Gohr (Cat 1) headed to New York to represent the NE Colavita Team. The 61 mile course with a long finishing ascent was ideal for Kristen's power in climbing. Without out team help, Kristen kept up with the race leaders placing 4th in the Pro/1/2/3 Category.
Great Job Kristen!!! We are proud of you!!!!

The road race is Union Vale NY is a must for those of you that like long road races!! It is a 61 mile course with nicely paved roads, rolling hills and one fast winding downhill that we clocked 50+ miles per hour. The finish is 1.7 mile climb up to approximately 1400 feet. The women's Pro 1-2-3 field raced together for the first 40 miles. After that the field was broken up on the downhill into a smaller group of 10. There were some attacks but nothing that would stick. Everyone was waiting for the final climb. The beginning of the climb was pretty steep and 5 of us got away. I ended up finishing 4th. Union Vale is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Boston but totally worth it!
